Royal pair see Syrian refugee camp

Mar 13 2013

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are visiting a refugee camp which is home to people fleeing the Syrian civil war.

Charles and Camilla were greeted by United Nations staff at the King Abdullah Park camp in Jordan, close to the Syrian border.

The camp is home to just under 1,000 people who have fled the conflict.

Later they will visit a historic Jordanian Roman city and then leave for Qatar followed by Saudi Arabia and Oman.

Charles and Camilla visited a craft skills training centre for women and children.

They then went to a nursery where around 20 children sat around tables and sang songs to them.

The camp is run by the United Nations, Unicef and Save the Children.

The couple will also visit a family who have fled the Syrian violence.
